Getting Along After Being Layed Off
We prepared our face painting kits and got our daughter ready for her school holiday party last week. It was on a Tuesday night and she was going to miss the holiday due to a planned trip to Europe, so this was the only opportunity she would have to take part in Holiday fun. She had great fun in the cafeteria eating cupcakes and sipping Sprite as all the kids laughed and spilled their plastic tumblers full of soda.
She’s been gone for less than a week but it seems like an eternity. I meant to get her a watch compass in case she get’s lost but having been placed on uncompensated leave I could not really afford to.
I’ve been building websites for the past month as I wait for the call from the office saying it’s time to come back. I have enough savings to last for a while but when so much time passes one wonders whether there will be a job to go back to. I suppose the only thing I can do is wait.
Well, at least my daughter will be returning from Europe soon. The angst that comes with missing one’s lov
e ones at times like these can be unbearable.
